(cont.) The product junkie phase should be just that...a PHASE that helps you figure out what ingredients and techniques work for you. Once you figure it out, hair care can become really easy.

With all due respect: I kinda get tired of hearing people say, "Well I used (grease) and my hair was down my back!" My mom used grease too and my hair never went past my ears.

in, then start all over. Even wash & go's seem hard (listening to other people). They don't wash & actually go, They wash, add product, diffuse then turn cartwheels and twirl the hair with their fingers, then style and maybe after that, they can go. My staples are castor oil, olive oil, conditioner and water. Anything else has been gifted to me and are used when I feel like being adventurous. My wash n go's cosist of cowashing, shaking my hair and that's it! Natural hair can be easy if

Natural hair seems complicated because so many naturals are not accepting of their natural texture. For instance, some people's hair doesn't have defined curl, so you spend money on a product that promises to define the curl and another product that promises to grow hair overnight, but dries it out, so you have to use something else to moisturize which causes buildup, so you buy something else to clarify which strips the hair, then you use a host of products to deep condition and seal the
